SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Product concepts often reach development without being validated from the customer's perspective, leading to wasted effort on vague or weak ideas. This Skill stress-tests a concept using Amazon's Working Backwards PRFAQ method before any PRD is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-stage coaching workflow: Ignition, Press Release, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and Verdict stages progressively harden a product concept with direct, challenging coaching. - Research-grounded drafting: Parallel artifact-analyzer and web-researcher subagents scan project documents and current market data to ground competitive and feasibility claims. - Headless mode: The --headless flag generates a complete first-draft PRFAQ autonomously from structured inputs (customer, problem, stakes, solution). - Use Case: A founder with a rough SaaS idea runs the PRFAQ challenge, answers hard customer and stakeholder questions, and walks away with a press release, two FAQ sections, a verdict assessment, and a distillate file ready to feed into PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a PRFAQ for your product concept and answer the coaching questions through each stage.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-prfaq

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a PRFAQ for a product idea?

Invoke the skill with your concept and it guides you through five stages: capturing the customer and problem, drafting a press release, answering customer and internal FAQ questions, and receiving a final verdict. The output is a complete PRFAQ Markdown document plus a distillate for PRD creation.

What is the Working Backwards PRFAQ method?

Working Backwards is Amazon's product validation method where you write the finished product's press release before building anything. The PRFAQ adds customer and internal FAQ sections that force honest answers about value proposition, feasibility, and risks.

Can I generate a PRFAQ automatically without interactive coaching?

Yes, pass the --headless or -H flag with structured inputs covering customer, problem, stakes, and solution concept. The skill validates the input schema, runs research subagents in parallel, and produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ without interaction.

Does the PRFAQ workflow support resuming an unfinished session?

Yes, on activation it checks for an existing prfaq output file and reads the frontmatter stage field. If found, it offers to resume directly from the next stage rather than restarting the workflow.

What are the limitations of the PRFAQ challenge?

The skill validates concept clarity but does not replace market sizing, prototyping, or user testing. If you cannot articulate a customer or problem after a few exchanges, it redirects you to upstream brainstorming or idea-forging workflows instead.
